Kris Kristofferson - Mal Sacate (live with the Borderlords, on Spanish TV, 1990)

What a beautiful performance! I love Stephen's picking…
This performance was on Spanish TV, on 27 January 1990. He did Mal Sacate and Me and Bobby McGee (Thanks for this information, Luis 😊)
Here is the album song: • Kris Kristofferson - M...
Mal Sacate
Mr. Money Man, I know you've had your way
And I know the way you're winning
And that bloody hand you're holding
Ain't no bargain at the price you had to pay
You have stolen all the land that you can steal
And you killed so many heroes
But the dreams they left behind them
Ain't as easy as a man to blow away
And they say, "el mal sacate ni el fuego lo quema"
And los mexicanos dicen, "cosa mala nunca muere"
Don't you know?
The fire don't burn a bad weed boy
And a bad thing never dies
Like the bad weeds growing wild around
The broken wounded body of El Salvador
They killed so many heroes
Like Zapata (Presente!) and Fonseca (Presente!)
And Sandino (Presente!) and Guevarra (Presente!)
And Allende (Presente!) and Aquino (Presente!)
And Steve Biko (Presente!)
But they can never kill the human spirit
NOT IN NICARAGUA!
And they say, "el mal sacate ni el fuego lo quema"
And los mexicanos dicen, "cosa mala nunca muere"
Don't you know?

He was brave, being a Soldier, a Captain, a fighter Pilot who jump out of Helicopters, a Wrestle, working with the National guard flying helicopter to Mexico......he had to be BRAVE!! MY RESPECT & ADMIRATION KNOWS NO BOUND👑💚💙❤

I've known of Kristofferson most all of my life. But it was only during the long lockdowns here in NZ that I began listening to him. Such a joy to discover someone who combines such talent, performative beauty and ethical spirit. I'm now addicted for life.

[@biggestkkfan1506]

That's great 😊 if you are on facebook, there's a fan group that I can recommend to you: Kris Kristofferson appreciation group... Check it out 😊

[@rickykrol4392]

Wow Awesome Tina, and thanks for sharing, I love this song from Kris, so I loved them all from his hand.

[@biggestkkfan1506]

Thanks for commenting, Ricky 😊

[@thabompakanyane1429]

Poignant, unpretentious and globally relevant. In other words, human as Kris has always conscientiously lived his life; even at the cost of alienating parents and heritage.

[@cathylawrence7382]

Love Kris always 💞

Wow, so gut möchte ich auch spanisch können (für die Kanaren-Urlaube 😉) Das ist eine sehr schöne Version, so mit Banjo usw. Und der Text ist wie immer bei Kris absolut wahr und kritisch.
